Summary
Songwriters get much of the money they earn from their songs from radio airplay. A songwriter is paid for each play, and hit songs are played thousands of times. Only some songwriters actually achieve a hit, however, and even fewer songwriters manage to write several hits. Writers of hit songs are often asked to write songs for movie soundtracks, but they sometimes decline. This is because, although such songs frequently become hits, their writers receive one up-front payment instead of continued revenues from radio airplay.
Notable Valid Inferences
Some songs written for movie soundtracks become hits and are played on the radio thousands of times.
A
Any songwriter who receives revenue from radio airplay has written a hit song.
Could be false. To claim this is true for any songwriter is too extreme. It is possible for a song that is not a hit to be played on the radio, and those songwriters would still receive some revenue.
B
All songwriters who write songs for movie sound tracks have had their songs played on the radio thousands of times.
Could be false. To claim this is true for all songwriters is too extreme. It is possible for an unknown songwriter to get asked to write songs for movie sound tracks. We only know that sometimes writers of hit songs are asked to write songs for movie sound tracks.
C
Some songs written for movie sound tracks are played on the radio thousands of times.
Must be true. The stimulus tells us that songs written for movie sound tracks frequently become hits. Since hit songs are played thousands of times, it must follow that some songs written for movie sound tracks are played thousands of times.
D
Most songwriters prefer the possibility of continued income to single up-front payments for their songs.
Could be false. The stimulus does not give us any information about what most songwriters prefer. It is possible that there are other options songwriters prefer.
E
Some songwriters earn money solely from the radio airplay of their songs.
Could be false. We don’t have enough information in the stimulus about sources of income for songwriters to make this claim. It is possible that there are no songwriters solely earning money from radio airplay.
